Hi! I’m Melissa Crane.

I’m Melissa: a digital marketer, branding fanatic, and coffee addict.

Telling stories, connecting people, taking big ideas and making them happen online is what I do.

I also love kickboxing and scuba diving. I’m also slightly obsessed with manta rays. Oh, and sea turtles.

How I Got Here

With a degree in industrial design (product design), I launched myself into a job as a flash designer (RIP Adobe Flash) at a design agency.

I then started a freelance consulting design business and ended up working with all sorts of clients, from new ones in start-up phase, to huge ones (like Pizza Hut).

After a few (seven) years, I decided to push my boundaries again and get a corporate job. To learn from a mentor to accelerate the learning process… and get paid at the same time. I worked at a gaming company. Woah, I know right… way left field for me. And quickly worked my way up to marketing director.

Now my 9 to 5 is as the head of consumer & online marketing for a shoe brand.
